Josue Matias, considered one of the top offensive linemen prospects in the nation, has committed to Florida State. The Union City, N.J., standout becomes the 25th member of the Seminole' incoming recruiting class, which is ranked among the best in the nation.

Matias had been committed to Rutgers but said he was immediately intrigued by the thought of playing for the Seminoles when Florida State began recruiting him in November. He decided on Saturday, he said, to make his decision official and he called the Florida State coaching staff and said he’d be Tallahassee bound.

“That’s where I thought I’d have the most success at,” he said on Saturday night. “It was a hard decision but I just had to do what was right.”

Matias, who is 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds, took an official visit to Tallahassee in December when the Seminoles were preparing for the Chick-fil-A Bowl and he said, “I liked everything about it.” Matias is a four-star prospect according to Rivals.com, which ranks him the 25th best offensive lineman in the class of 2011.

He said coaches have told him he’d likely play left tackle.

Matias missed his senior season while going through rehab for a season-ending knee injury. He tore his patella tendon before the season even started.
